Irish Soda Bread Cookies

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone!! I love this holiday. It’s the day I’m proud to have pale skin, freckles and green eyes. Features of my Irish heritage. Go out there and chase a rainbow, trap a leprechaun, don’t forget to wear your green and have a beer for me! If you’re not Irish, pretend you are today…you’ll be glad you did. I made these cookies, reminiscent of the traditional Irish Soda Bread frequently served alongside corned beef and cabbage (which, I’m headed to my ma’s house to eat). They pretty much taste like a mini scone. Yum!I boiled my currants in a little water to plump them up before draining them and adding to the dough. Then I mixed up a little glaze of powdered sugar and milk (with green food coloring) to add a little sweet and Irish color.
